Searched for their site, came across this : http://www.epromotion.biz/

hi there ,
            they haven't got order yet and basically they are not supplying UAV's but instead they are making a 86cc 1/2 scale heron UAV model which is with IAF and these models will be used to train crew for T/O and Landing and for emergency conditions instead of live UAV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wink Wink Wink

happy landings

Their website (as noted above) is clearly a work in progress.  It may be too early to be added to the mega list of hobby shops.

hi sushil,
            even though its confidential i will clear :basically IAF has heron UAV which cannot takeoff and land by itself (although it has some advanced avionics) so some safety pilot should land manually and these UAV's are not RC planes ,they will cost in hundreds of crores,please have a look at it
http://theasiandefence.blogspot.com/2009/08/india-has-approved-induction-of.html

and if crash one "crores into ashes" thats why they will train there crews with dummy rc model of 86cc engine powred plane which is 1/2 scale replica of heron!

Regards
Praveen

I am aware of the UAVs that the forces have. I have, very recently, actually seen the smaller ones with Zenoah twin engines with Israeli electronics. Don't ask when and where!

But I still cannot understand what a "live UAV" is ! Roll Eyes

If I read you correctly, what  you actually mean is that the 1/2 scale models are used for training pilots to - ultimately - fly the bigger, expensive, UAVs.
